How to Calculate Discount with Tax
- Enter the original price of the item.

Discount with Tax Formula
Discounted Price = Original Price × (1 − Discount Percentage ÷ 100); Tax Amount = Discounted Price × Sales Tax Rate ÷ 100; Final Price = Discounted Price + Tax Amount
Example Calculation
Original price $100, 20% discount, 8% sales tax. Discounted price = $100 × (1 − 0.20) = $80. Tax = $80 × 0.08 = $6.40. Final price = $80 + $6.40 = $86.40.
